Farmers in Politics.

Washington Press. We desire to
give our hearty Endorsement to the
following from the Arkansas Demo
GRAFT:
1t would not be well for agricul-
turlsts to abate their interest in all
political matters. The farmers are
pretty evenly distributed over the
State. Their occupation and habits
are such as tends to make them con.
servatiye. They are for most part
owners of their homes and the sol
they cultivate, which itself inspires
patriotic sentiment and promotes
good citizenship. Their influence
on the body polite has been statutory
in the past and can scarcely be
otherwise In the future. 1t may yet
fall to thei. lot TO rescue politics and
society from the blighting influence
of the hydra headed isms that are
becoming so pIavalent. The con
servatism and radlcalism terms stu
pidity is after all the balance vince
that regulates the machinery Of
| Government.
The farmers are the producers
and the constitute the strength OF
the country and the very salt OF the
earth. The feel most severely the
effects of bad politics ard bad gov.
eminent, for they can not hide then
property from the taz collector; and
they form the safe, conservative ele-
ment which control the country
They ought always to take an earn
est and active part in public affairs
and when they do, we have the bes'
guarantee that things are going
right. We have no fear of any dis
astrous effects from their politica
activity, for their interests, more
than all others, are at stake and they
can not afford. They have been the
bulwark of good government always
aud disaster is more likely to come
when they neglect their publc duty

In Mountain township last Satur-
day, Wiseman and Henry Vickers,
stepsons of Mr.. John Shaw, a good
citizen, got drunk on Shutdown
whisky and attacked Mr.. Shaw in o
most outrageous manner, cutting
him on the arm and tearing his
clothes OIL. The young men were
found fighting in the road by Mr..
Shaw and his brother who is visiting
him, and on separating them they
turned furiously on to the gentle
man. Wiseman, the older, seemed
perfectly crazy with whisky and used
every effort to kill his stepfather
with his knife and subsequently
went to the house and there made
everybody stand out of his way
slashing his knife right and left.
He was tried in Esq. Madden's court
last Monday before a jury and fined

A very sad accident occurred near
Carriers mill on Fourche, on Thurs
day OF last week, in which the ten
year old son of Mr.. Holman was so
seriously injured that he died IN a
few hours. AS reported, Mr.. Ben
Clark, of Canville, came along in a
buggy driving rather unruly nag,
overtaklng in the road about mile
from Carter's Mr.. Holman and his
two little sons, on horseback. Mr..
Holman rode horse and the two
boys another horse, and were return
ing from the field and the horses had
harness on. AS the buggy came up
with them, Mr.. Holman drew out on
one side Of the road and the BOYS on
the other, but the buggy wheel
struck the horse the boys We're riding
causing him to jump so quickly as
to throw the boys off. The younger
fell in the road and was run over by
the buggy wheel, though but slight
ly injured. The other was caught
by the leg or foot in some way to
the harness and was dragged some
distance by the running horse.
When disengaged the boy was
speechless and so remained to his
death which occurred a few hours
later. A severe wound on the cheek
and the print Of the horses foot on
his breast indicated the nature Of
the injury. Mr.. Clark stopped to
render what help he could, and ran
for DIR. Dodd two miles away and
brought him at once, but nothing
could he done. The father was so
